i think it's been well handled by the obama administration. there's something more bizarre that after the first term, the president ended the war in iraq, passed landmark reform and a health care bill that is the most significant piece in year, a bill that gives each american access to health insurance for the first time. after all that, the president's re-election would come to rest at the execution of a package initiated by george w. bush in the last days of his time in office. imagine getting in a time machine and going back to the mall in 2009 and telling people in a crowd of more than 1 million, the man about to get sworn in would see his re-election hinged on the pack onlg of loans the bush administration authorized. there's no way they would believe you. the reason for this strange state of affairs is the electoral college, a small category of swing states and a vast wasteland of states where they do not. we have become so accustoms to it, we don't think it's strange. of course it played out well in the swing state of ohio. it should. 1

the obama administration has begun to address some of the factors. the health care reform include the first attempt to put an place across the board ways of slowing the rate of growth of health care costs. now i think those provisions are they need to be on a bigger scale and they need to be stronger, but they are there. and they've also made a concerted effort to increase energy efficiency across business as well as individuals. as the only effective way we can address energy costs as a factor in the business costs that squeeze wages. >> one more question because i know people you should get the chance to ask. i remember when you give a briefing on the subject to me a couple years ago, it struck me with an enormous sort of problem and complex problem talking about here, the income growth of most americans, but that sure remedies at the time i felt were rather small in comparison to the diagnosis. in fact, i remember using the phrase you diagnose cancer, which are prescribing aspirin. have you come up with stronger medications? >> well, i've come up

the obama administration is investigating itself with secret internal probes. now, aren't those by their very nature, inherently suspect and all the more reason why congress needs to conduct an independent investigation? >> i think investigations by both branches are appropriate. i think in the case of the obama administration, it's not only that their investigations have produced accounts so far which are only favor annual to them -- favorable to them, but the selective leaking of information has politicized the central intelligence agency and the pentagon, just a few days before our election. there is another letter out by another group of senators, senators coats and blunt and rubio andthers if i recall, that go precisely to that point. are these leaks authorized by the administration, or are these leaks by the agencies themselves? what this shows is i think the administration disarray and simply underlines the importance of congress getting to the bottom of this. >> gregg: katherine herrage obtained a classified cable from the u.s. mission in benghazi less
